Bill thanks for that, and Dwight for offering his HIN. I also recall that up to about 6 or so years ago, South Shore had the carpenter's certificates, and then got rid of them. I suspect mine was built in May 1974, but am not sure.
My boat does have a "log" with a Doc Number carved in, but now that this boat is in Canada, I presume this has gone into the dead records at USCG. Any way I can recall this stuff? ALEX GIANNELIA CC 35-II (1974) WILL BE RENAMED ON THE HARD SINCE NOV. 2006 Toronto Ontario Message: 9 Date: Tue, 23 Jul 2013 11:25:04 -0400 From: Bill Bina <billb...@sbcglobal.net> To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com Subject: Re: Stus-List RE-constructing an HIN Message-ID: <51eea050.4000...@sbcglobal.net> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Southshore gave you incorrect information. ALL vessels manufactured after November 1, 1972 had HIN numbers in the required location on the starboard transom. Even rowboats. C&C would have been out of their minds not to comply, as a boat with no HIN could never leave Canada, and I doubt it could be registered IN Canada. How would they identify it? Chances are excellent that your boat has at least one more copy of the HIN hidden in the cabin somewhere. Has the boat ever been registered since it was new? Old paperwork would have the HIN. I know it could never be registered in the U.S. without a HIN, and I would think the same true in Canada.
